*MOVCA Program for August 2020*

*Fair Shake Environmental Legal Services**Community Democracy Webinar 
Series *

Greetings, Mid-Ohio Valley Climate Action folks!

Since we are still restricted from offering in-person meetings, MOVCA is 
continuing our pandemic programming approach. This August, Mid-Ohio 
Valley Climate Action is promoting a free webinar series on Community 
Democracy offered by Fair Shake Environmental Legal Services. Fair Shake 
is a nonprofit law firm that believes everyone should be able to defend 
their environment. They provide access to environmental justice through 
pro bono and income-based legal services on environmental issues.  
(Personal note: I have seen Fair Shake personnel participating in 
several recent Zoom events hosted by non-profit groups with whom MOVCA 
collaborates, especially on issues relating to protecting the Ohio River 
and dealing with the proposed Appalachian Storage Hub. Seems like Fair 
Shake would be a good group to learn from and to learn more about. -

*Fair Shake’s Community Democracy Series aims to give people the tools 
they need to participate in the processes that shape their communities.* 
Each segment of their FREE 5-part webinar series is hosted by our staff 
attorneys and dive into important aspects of our local and regional 
democratic processes that are often overlooked. Some examples include 
zoning, long term land-use planning, environmental permitting, lead 
hazards, environmental justice, and organizing around risk-management.

The webinar series runs the week of August 24th - 28th, with a different 
topic relating to environmental justice covered each day, beginning at 
2:00 p.m. You can register for one or all of the daily webinars, 
depending on your interests and the time you have available. You can 
learn more about the series and register at the link below:
